Shiri li, shiri li
Shir li, shiri li
Namtzi lanu lishneinu manginot.

Shebi oleh al kawl g'dotav.

Hu m'abed et hatzafon.

SING TO ME
She:
You are the wind that burst through
the doors to my heart.
He:
I am just a wave, which on your shore
Breaks, is absorbed and fades away.
She:
You light up my nights -
He:
I am a solitary lantern, distant.
She:
But how good it is to be with you
in sadness and in laughter.
Chorus:
She:
Sing to me
He:
Sing to me
Both:
Even if all the words are already known.
Sing to me, sing to me
Sing to me, sing to me
We'll invent melodies for the two of us.
She:
You are a good, strong river which
overflows its banks within me.
He:
You are quiet like the sea -
She:
You are the fire in my bones.
He:
I am a sailor who, on your doorstep,
loses all sense of direction.
She:
I would find you, a single individual
among the crowd.
